SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE INTEGRATION OF FUSED-DATA HYPOGLYCAEMIA ALARMS INTO CLOSED-LOOP GLYCAEMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods and systems are described for controlling a flowrate of insulin infused into the body of a patient. An insulin infusion device infuses insulin into the body of the patient. A first sensor generates blood glucose level (BGL) data indicative of a blood glucose level of the patient. A second sensor generates autonomic nervous system (ANS) data such as heart rate data dependent on at least one parameter of the patient's autonomic nervous system. A data fusion processor receives the BGL data and the ANS data and generates an output alarm signal if a hypoglycaemic event is inferred. A flowrate of insulin of the insulin infusion device may be modified dependent on the output alarm signal.
